Intro -x2-: E A 

Verse 1:
E                 A
When I was a young  boy
   E              A
My mama said to me
         E                         A
"There's only one girl in the world  for you
        E                     A
And she probably lives in Tahiti."
           E
I'd go the whole wide world

Chorus:
                                    A
Go the whole wide world just to find  her

Verse 2:
E A   E                      A
    Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
          E                   A
Where the Caribean Sea is blue
E                           A
Weeping in the tropical moonlit night
        E                      A
Because nobody's talking about you
           E
I'd go the whole wide world

Chorus:
                                    A
Go the whole wide world just to find  her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world

Go the whole wide world
                           A
To find out where they hide  her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
                                    A
Go the whole wide world just to find  her

Verse 3:
E A E A         E                         A
         Why am I hanging around in the rain  right here
E                       A
Trying to pick up a girl
           E
Why are my eyes
                          A
Filling up with these lonely tears
             E                       A
When there's girls all over the world
       E                        A
Is she lying on a tropical beach  somewhere
E                        A
Underneath a tropical sun
E                     A
Pining a way in a heat  wave there
E                          A
Hoping that I won't be long
            E                            A
I should be lying on that sun swept beach  with her
  E                           A
Caressing her warm, brown skin
    E                    A
And then in a year or maybe not quite
         E                           A
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
           E
I'd go the whole wide world

Chorus:
                                    A
Go the whole wide world just to find  her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world

Go the whole wide world
                           A
To find out where they hide  her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world
                                    A
Go the whole wide world just to find  her
           E
I'd go the whole wide world

Go the whole wide world
                           A
To find out where they hide  her
Yeah!

Album: A Bunch of Stiff Records

~Tuesday 25th of March~

Biography

Wreckless Eric (born Eric Goulden on the 18th May 1954 in East Sussex, England) was part of the pub-rock scene before he became one of the earliest artists to be signed to Stiff Records. Even as a singer-songwriter with a distinct singing voice, his records failed to chart but his live shows were his main successes, winning him a faithful audience to whom he continues to play to this day. Most recently he has been recording with his wife Amy Rigby (an American singer-songwriter) as Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby.
